 So, John is not a COBOholic !!
Also not a COBOL fan, mostly due to the verbosity.
I once ported a COBOL-specific algorithm to Pascal, which meant that I had to reimplement code for all the 80-col punch card formatted IO as well as sorting according to quite special rules.
The original was 25 pages, my replacement ~5, at least half of which was the COBOL specific function replacements, so the mainline code became an order of magnitude smaller.
